Re: July 17, 2005 - Were You There?

One thing that I really remember from that night is everyone waiting in the line that snaked around the hotel shuttle drop-off and pick-up area, and if they weren't engrossed in discussion, they were reading the newest Harry Potter. It was kinda fun trying to spot all of the readers in line.

I was there July 5 2005
and May 5 2005.
On July 5th we stayed at Grand Calif.
Knowing that we'd be let in, we all slept in our beds. Ah, they were nice.

We had fun!

To that end I'd like the Internet community to join me in reminding the Disney company that "it all started with Walt." As you can see below we've created some T-shirts, plus a few simple graphics that you can copy and paste into your websites to let folks know how you feel.

I was there-Green Band ! I will dig up the photo later. And we got the "I was there" pins also.

My family and I car painted our car, drove over 500 miles, and I made custom t-shirts. (A disney executive told me i should have taken them to the marketing department) We got there about 12 am in the morning... and we were suprised how many people were already there. We didn't even get into the second group of wristband colors. In the park, my dad and brother got in the merchandise line right away and the rest of us got a spot for the ceremony. We ended up with two "I was there" pins and everyone got back in time to watch the ceremony. My brother and I stayed until 12am... so we scored the full 24 hours on the Disneyland property. We watched the dedication speech in Town Square. We signed the guest book and scored take-home cupcakes. (We tried to save them forever in the freezer... but they got crushed on the ride home)
